I just got Blast internet. I live in the Western suburbs of Chicago. When I take an internet speed test at speedtest.net, I get a DL speed of 16 mbps, and UL speed of 6 mbps. I have a brand-new, DOCSIS 3.0 Motorola SB6121 modem. I have gotten this speed when directly connected to the modem. I have rebooted my modem several times, always with similar results. I have cleared my pcs dns cache.
Why are my speeds so much lower than the advertised 50/10?
Does anyone else in the Chicago area have the same problem?
Is there anything else I can do to try to speed up my connection?
Thanks!
